The most underrated defensive coordinator in the country might just be Brad White. The Kentucky play caller has spent the last half of the decade putting the Cats in a position to win a good amount of games that they had no business winning.

Transparency in reportage: I wasn’t in the Yum! to cover the Thanksgiving Eve Cardinals game. Several reasons. 9:00 Tip off was at my normal bedtime. The game was against a Bottom Ten ranked school. Driving home late at night on one of the biggest bar nights of the year is not optimal for an old […]

This started like the kind of affair the Cardinals have played many times through the years. After a big road W, a generally mundane let-down effort against an overmatched foe during the holidays, when a lot of fans stayed home to make some sweet potato pie. Early on, the team’s focus was less than. Missed […]

Just when you though the football season couldn’t possibly be more over, we hit a new rock bottom. And the scariest part about that is there’s still a Governor’s Cup to play for against a less than impressive Kentucky team. It could still get oh so much worse. I think the question we should start […]

Louisville played a pretty solid game for three quarters. Unfortunately after a spirited first half that ended with the Cards down 2 (35-37) they seemed to come out flat to start the second half. They only scored 6 points in the third quarter and despite some good runs in the fourth quarter they could never […]

Woeful as my prognostications have been this season — mediocrity in microcosm — never have I been as sure about the outcome beforehand, as I was in advance of Louisville heading to Dallas to take on SMU. This. Was. Inevitable. Were I a betting man — which I am not — I would have gone […]

Hunch feeling. That this 74-64 grind it out victory in the 101st game against Cincinnati will prove to be more meaningful as the season progresses. Many of U of L’s gnawing issue were again exposed.
